2012 LED headlight conversion

So I currently have a 2007 IS250 and I recently had the 2012 LED headlights installed. However, the LED strip does not work as the DRL I still have the ugly normal DRLs. I noticed that when I lock/unlock my car or even use my turn signals they come on as a turn signal (as well as the normal turn signals). I was wondering what I could do to fix this, please let me know with whatever tips you may have! Thanks.

You need to re-pin the lights on the plug in that connects to your car. Do a google search and you can find out how to do this.. although you'll need to remove your bumper again..

Did you not do any research before attempting this?

When I bought mine there was a relay included for the turn signals as well.. it plugs in underneath your steering wheel

I was "lucky" and bought a set from Ebay that were already re-pinned - so mine were plug and play

Florida is a popular place for Lexus IS's I'm sure theres someone that can do it for you if you search hard enough
